Author: iMac Hard Drive Installation
So I replaced the hard drive in an iMac today.
Now it all makes sense
For a few days now, my Mac has been asking me to give permission to Google Chrome to use the passwords in my Keychain. I couldn’t figure it out until I realised Chrome was updated to 6.0.472.33 (beta, of course). Now it makes sense. Kudos to Google for keeping security in mind.
Why not to overthink a problem
I’ve recently become the proud owner of a 27″ iMac, with the i5 quad core processor and 8GB RAM. It’s faster than stink, and I love it. Unfortunately, my background does not permit me a full move to Mac OS X, because I have written several applications for Windows, and I must support SQL ServerContinue reading Why not to overthink a problem

Ok, I lied
So I lied. A few other things have happened in the last couple of months. I’ve released a third beta for ShutOff 2010, and new versions of the Password Generator 2010, Simple Lotto Number Generator 2010, and the ShutOff 20×0 registry cleaner. Simple HexConverter 2010 is also almost ready for release. Yes, I sold outContinue reading Ok, I lied
Still alive!
Not much to say. Sorry for my readers (all three of you). So much has happened, and yet not much has happened. It’s the same as when you catch up with an old friend and find out that apart from that big piece of news, they are the same person. So for the record, ourContinue reading Still alive!

Facebook friends have seen photos and read updates, but I haven’t had the time to actually write up something here. Also, I forgot that I have this blog … So, Canada. Why Lloydminster of all places? What about Vancouver?Continue reading O Canada
NCANE.COM going open source
I’ve decided to take my short URL generator and make it open-source. This is for a number of reasons, but I think primarily because I’m emigrating, and sometimes you need to just let things go. ShutOff 2000’s code will also become open source when I release ShutOff 2010 (that’s a long story – don’t ask).Continue reading NCANE.COM going open source
I smite thee, spammers
As the founder of the Smiters of Iniquity, I hereby smite all spammers. Yesterday, ncane.com and I were targeted by spammers, where a spam email went out to (I expect) thousands of people, purporting to be from me (including my personal details from public DNS records), and a short URL generated by ncane.com. An over-eagerContinue reading I smite thee, spammers
In Lloydminster, it’s just gone 10 a.m.
And boy, is it nice and brisk!
